Ian's 1st table tennis tournament

Last yr Ian started his CCA and we still rem the time when he had trouble deciding which CCA to choose and he was worried he wont get into his choice CCA. He was ill for the 1st session and was v apprehensive when he went the following wk. Some mths later, he told us he is into the sch team which totally caught us by surprise but we didn't fuss coz we were glad he could stay back for more practices to hone his skills. Beginning of this yr, he told us he is going to participate in the tournament which made our jaws dropped coz we knew his standard haha but guess they had limited people in the so called sch team and so they were asked to take part in the tournament. It is very different from our time but it was good exposure for him. Last Tue was his 1st session and he had to skip some lessons coz of the tournament but it was just missing PE and MT so seems quite fine. Tho their sch seems to be the weaker sch, he had a good time really challenging the other kids as they were in junior team but coz his sch has very few P5 kids so the P4s were challenging against P5s from other schs. Hopefully he will gain experience  and hone his skills this yr and come up a stronger player for next yr. But his sch has several good P3s kids who weren't allowed to play this yr so we wonder why. But for the time being, he is keen to stay on this CCA for another 2 yrs as they get to change again next yr....more practices hopefully make him a stronger opponent. But in the meantime, hope he doesn't lose hope after this tournament!
